std::filesy...r==,!=,,>=,(3)

okay so welcome to the std::filesy...r==,!=,,>=,(3) page from the C++ Standard Libary manual — spelling exactly as the manual has it, bestie, we don’t edit history 💅. This is the comparison-operator page for std::filesystem::directory_entry, and it’s giving operator overload realness ✨.

✨ NAME ✨

the official NAME line is exactly this, double comma and all:

       std::filesystem::directory_entry::operator==,!=,,>=, -
       std::filesystem::directory_entry::operator==,!=,,>=,

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

here’s the full synopsis, character-for-character, annotations and all:

          bool operator==( const directory_entry& rhs ) const noexcept;
       (1) (since C++17)
          bool operator!=( const directory_entry& rhs ) const noexcept;
       (2) (since C++17)
                                                                                 (until
       C++20)
          bool operator<( const directory_entry& rhs ) const noexcept;
       (3) (since C++17)
                                                                                 (until
       C++20)
          bool operator<=( const directory_entry& rhs ) const noexcept;
       (4) (since C++17)
                                                                                 (until
       C++20)
          bool operator>( const directory_entry& rhs ) const noexcept;
       (5) (since C++17)
                                                                                 (until
       C++20)
          bool operator>=( const directory_entry& rhs ) const noexcept;
       (6) (since C++17)
                                                                                 (until
       C++20)
          std::strong_ordering operator<=>( const directory_entry& rhs )
       (7) (since C++20)
          const noexcept;

the lore: this compares the path with the directory entry rhs. Quick synthesis note: the <, <=, >, >=, and != operators are synthesized from operator<=> (since C++20) and operator== respectively — main character energy for operator<=> and operator==, honestly.

🎀 Parameters 🎀

• rhs — directory_entry to compare

💖 Return value 💖

1. true if path() == rhs.path(), false otherwise.
2. true if path() != rhs.path(), false otherwise.
3. true if path() < rhs.path(), false otherwise.
4. true if path() <= rhs.path(), false otherwise.
5. true if path() > rhs.path(), false otherwise.
6. true if path() >= rhs.path(), false otherwise.
7. The result of path() <=> rhs.path().

• path — returns the path the entry refers to
• operator const path& (public member function)
